An 18-year-old student attacked members of the Instituto Obispo Silva Lezaeta community in Calama with a bladed weapon on Friday, killing a 59-year-old inspector and injuring a teaching assistant and three students. The attacker was detained in flagrancy by Carabineros after being restrained by teachers. Local authorities declared three days of communal mourning and President José Antonio Kast sent ministers to the site.
Antofagasta's Environmental Assessment Commission (Coeva) unanimously approved Cramsa's Aguas Marítimas project, valued at US$ 5.000 million. The desalination plant will supply water to communes in the region to address water scarcity. The approval followed over four years of evaluation.
